title: [Medical and organizational issues of pre- and post-stroke disablement].
abstract: Authors examined 400 patients in the acute stage of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, including 140 patients who were followed-up for 6 months after the discharge. The dynamics of neurological and functional status, degree of disability and 6 month mortality were evaluated. It was shown that before hospitalization, 45.3% patients had disability pensions group I (14 or 7.7%), group II (136 or 75.1%) and group III (31 or 17.1%). The proportion of disabled people among able-bodied citizens younger than 60 years was 17.5% and it was 77.4% among those older than 80 years. Disability was caused by the cardiovascular pathology (48.1%), previous stroke (30.9%), diabetes mellitus type 2 and its complications (21%). The group of disability assigned before stroke, degree of comorbidity and severity of main disease were positively correlated with the severity of patient's condition on admission to and at discharge from the hospital. During 6 months after discharge, 15.7% of patients died, the rate of mortality was higher by a factor of 1.5 (21.4%) for secondary stroke compared to the first one. The rate of disability increased during 6 months. A number of people with disability group I increased by 12%, group II - by 20% , group III - by 5% and was estimated as 15, 55.7 and 15%, respectively.
